GTA revealed that the event schedule of Round 7 Autopolis has been changed from the original 2018 AUTOBACS SUPER GT race calendar.

 

Rescheduling was caused by a schedule overlap between the 2018 AUTOBACS SUPER GT Round 7 Autopolis event, initially scheduled on October 13th and 14th, and the WEC Round 4 Fuji 6 Hour race, which was moved from the original schedule after FIA (Federation Internationale de l'Automobile) announced the change in the race calendar of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).
As a consequence of the change, GTA decided to postpone the Autopolis event by one week to October 20th (Saturday, Qualifying) and 21st (Sunday, Race).

 

Also, the complete schedule of official test, which was partially marked as to be determined, was announced, and a test has been added to the second half of the season, which will take place at Twin Ring Motegi on October 8th and 9th.
